Cleveland Guardians vs San Francisco Giants Game Analysis
Cleveland Guardians, struggling with poor pitching and batting, will have Logan Allen (8 wins, 4 losses, 5.75 ERA) aiming for his 9th win of the season. Allen suffered a loss on the 1st in an away game against Kansas City, allowing 3 runs in 4.1 innings. His pitching has deteriorated in his last three games, each time permitting 3 or more runs. However, he has shown improvement in home games, achieving QS in three consecutive home matches and boasting a 3-1 record with a 3.14 ERA in day games.
Cleveland’s batting lineup, limited to 2 runs including Josh Naylor's solo homer due to San Francisco's bullpen, showed poor performance in the scoring position in the previous game. With a scoreless 0-for-11 in scoring positions and 3 double plays, it was a disastrous performance. The bullpen, however, seemed to have recovered, allowing zero runs in 4.1 innings.
The San Francisco Giants, riding on bullpen excellence to secure consecutive wins, will see Kyle Harrison (4 wins, 3 losses, 3.96 ERA) returning from injury. Harrison pitched excellently against Houston on June 11th, allowing 1 run in 6.1 innings before an ankle injury sidelined him. His simulated pitching results were good, and he’s a strong nighttime away game pitcher. San Francisco's batting lineup managed to score 4 runs against Tanner Bibee in the previous game, displaying unmatched focus in away games recently.
Michael Conforto, who hit a crucial 2-run double in the first inning, needs to maintain his form. The bullpen, which held for 9 innings allowing 2 runs, has a handicap as the main relievers can't be used in this game.
Game Prediction
Both teams have shown a good track record against left-handed pitchers recently, making expectations from the starters minimal. Thus, it will come down to the bullpen duel. San Francisco used a lot of their bullpen in the previous game and can't rely on their main relievers, which is a significant issue. Cleveland, with a superior bullpen, is closer to winning.
